RutgersPIKE - many GLOs allow pledges to wear letters. The idea of "earning" your letters is now seen as an invitation to haze. Wearing letters indicates you are a member (even if a pledge) of that GLO. I like "mom" shirts - i.e. Gamma Phi Beta mom, Sigma Chi dad; and I also like legacy shirts (I'm in the process of getting some for my sons). Then there are the shirts for events such as Greek Week or Derby Days, which feature all of the letters of different GLOs. Do you not wear shirts like that, and is that a personal preference or a II K A philosophy? Not being snarky - I really am interested in knowing what different national/international GLOs have to say about the issue.
